The location of the camp was originally the farmland outside the city, but as soon as the army arrived, all the small people scattered and fled, and Liu Xu also occupied this place in a grand manner as his own camp. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Xu strolled in the camp that had just been built, Zhou Jun, Li Fengtian, and Liu Ruyi followed behind and kept introducing them, and the other person in charge was the Zhao Yuan commander who was stationed in Yingtian's Yamen, but he was also a second-class officer, and it was not good to follow Liu Xu step by step, so he was just in the army and did not come out.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a camp, because the army in Nanjing City has no intention of attacking, and Liu Xu does not expect to attack Nanjing with a thousand soldiers sponsored by the Heavenly Governor, so he simply planned the residential area and living area, and set up a few sentry posts outside to guard against thieves, which looks quite simple. In the original history, Wei Zhongxian was relieved of his post at the end of October and sent to Fengyang to guard the emperor's mausoleum, and now with his own joining, if Wei Zhongxian does not take risks, he will only fall faster, there is no second possibility. As for Wei Zhongxian's dog jumping over the wall in a hurry and murdering Chongzhen, this is even better.

At the beginning, Wei Zhongxian discussed with Cui Chengxiu, a loyal lackey and the secretary of the military department, to replace him, but Cui Chengxiu, who had always been the only one who was the head of Wei Zhongxian, said in a rambling manner, "I am afraid that there are volunteers outside", and Wei Zhongxian gave up stupidly. If Wei Zhongxian really made a move, Liu Xu would just pull the flag and recruit troops openly, and he wouldn't have to think of any excuses. As for Hou Jin, he didn't have enough strength and courage to swallow Da Ming at this time, so at best, he took the opportunity to come over to fight the autumn wind and increase his national strength.

Liu Xu looked at the tent in the residential area, this was an expedient measure for living for a while, after all, he could not force the soldiers to build brick houses in such a short time. The tents are made of thick cloth from Songjiang and are coated with tung oil to protect them from rain and moisture, and can accommodate three to five people per tent. Originally, there was no need to lay anything inside the tent, but the soldiers were delicate and expensive, and if they were injured or sick because of a cold, it would damage the reputation of the patrol, so the ground was also covered with straw and thick cloth to keep warm.

"Childe, according to your words, we first built more than fifty toilets in the camp, dug drainage ditches, and asked the local farmers to come and clean them up every other day, and explain to everyone the order that open defecation is not allowed." Li Fengtian followed Liu Xu's actions and kept introducing his arrangements.

"Well, very good, tomorrow I will invite a few Lang Zhong to live here permanently, we must ensure the health of the scholars, they are our precious wealth, and if we lose one, our prestige will be weaker." In addition, it must be guaranteed that there will be no plague epidemic, otherwise it will be a failure for Shanjiu. "Liu Xu is most afraid of infectious diseases, there is no bacteriological theory in this era, and there is no systematic epidemic prevention measures, often a plague can destroy dozens of cities, if he Liu Xu gets sick before he succeeds, it will be very bad.

"Childe, rest assured, we have invited five Langzhong to buy a lot of medicinal materials, and with such conditions, I don't think there will be any epidemics in the future. Again, winter is about to enter now, and most of the plagues occur in spring and summer, and the temperature in the wild is low in winter, and the epidemic is difficult to do, so there is still no danger in thinking about it. ”

"Very well, the first thing to do when the ancient army was camped was to build a toilet, and you know the importance of this. Also, how are the meals arranged in this camp? ”

"My subordinates hired 100 cooks in the city, and sent people to buy fruits and vegetables, rice grains, and poultry eggs in the surrounding villages every day, which cost about 40 taels a day."

"How much meat is there?"

"It's—about one or two a day per person."

Liu Xu frowned: "Don't be stingy with money, yesterday my family sent me another hundred thousand taels of silver, and this money is definitely not lacking." What are we relying on at the moment to have such a big momentum? It's not that the scholars think that they can have a good life with us, and they can be officials with us! If they are not satisfied with living and eating, this is a damage to their own military morale! Hengzhu can't stay outside this Nanjing city for a month, this chicken, duck and poultry meat for me to buy vigorously, don't be stingy! How much can this group of scholars eat? ”

Liu Xu has been commanding these days, scolding Fang Xuan, his power is increasing day by day, and he has a little more momentum when he speaks, Li Fengtian was reprimanded by him, and immediately sweated on his forehead, nervous. Li Fengtian calmed down, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said loudly: "The son is far-sighted, but his subordinates are shallow!" Another question is whether the soldiers should be treated the same? ”

"Soldiers?" Liu Xu frowned slightly, and then said: "They are different from scholars, we can't take them away, and it is impossible to be under our own command, and you see them like that, their faces are yellow and thin, and they are as thin as firewood, where they look like they can fight, I don't want such soldiers to me." And you send a few mouthfuls of fat pigs every day, saying that it is a patron, and you can't let them enjoy the same treatment as the scholars. ”

"What Childe said is that his subordinates remember."

"Fengtian, there is one thing you must remember, this person is divided into his own and others, how to let others know that they are cronies and their own people? It is to provide them with special treatment, so that they know that they are superior people and different people! If you give the same meat to the soldiers as the soldiers, the soldiers will not be grateful to you for having meat, but will think that you are insulting to Sven! And the soldiers are not under our control, when Zhao Yuan said that he bought it out of his pocket, who do you say the soldiers will be grateful to? So, you're spending money like this and it's not flattering! Therefore, the key to spending money is to use it effectively. I don't ask you to do two taels of silver with one tael of silver, or even one tael of silver for one tael of silver - you only need to use one tael of silver to do eight cents of silver, and our business can be successful! ”

Only then did Li Fengtian feel convinced: "Childe's words made his subordinates suddenly open!" ”

They continued on their way, gradually coming to a high lecture platform. The platform is about five feet high, cylindrical in shape, and is made entirely of rammed earth, with a spiraling staircase around it that can be walked up. It's not particularly solid, but it's okay to stick with it for a few months. The place where the high platform is originally a black tree forest, after a night of frost, their leaves turn bright red, from a distance it looks like a sea of flames, but now it has been cut down, leaving only a place of red leaves alone and haggard, like a place after a feast of flowers. The cut down tree trunks were simply dried and made into simple wooden chairs, which were placed in the auditoriums made of earth around them, which were prepared for the scholars who came to listen to the lectures.

Liu Xu walked over to a wooden chair, which was freshly made, and the bark on it still had moisture, revealing a slightly pungent smell peculiar to the black tree tree. The burrs on the chair have been carefully polished off to ensure that the gentlemen will not be injured, which shows the intention of the maker.

"Who's in charge of this podium?"

"Childe, I am in charge of this speech platform." Liu Ruyi hurriedly took a step to catch up. He had gained some weight lately, and his complexion had changed from pale to rosy, apparently thanks to the good nutrition in the team.

"Ruyi has been looking good lately." Liu Xu glanced at Liu Ruyi appreciatively, this young man not only has an idealistic heart, but is more willing to bend down to do trivial things, which is rare among Jiangnan scholars who are full of arrogance.

"Thanks to my son, Ruyi has eaten and slept well recently, and her natural complexion is also good." Liu Ruyi exchanged a few words of greeting, and then began to introduce: "This podium has not yet been completed, because almost all the people have been building the camp a few days ago, so only the building of the high platform and the surrounding chairs, such as barriers, rain shelters, and other auxiliary facilities have not been completed. ”

"Now that the camp is completed, then you have to work hard these days to complete the construction of this pulpit and the surrounding facilities as soon as possible, you know, the sooner it is completed, the sooner I can give lectures, and the more scholars will be attracted." Speaking of this, Liu Xu paused, and said: "The number of scholars directly determines our next strategic direction, there are 1,000 people we can do the work of 1,000 people, there are 2,000 people can do the work of 2,000 people, if the number of people reaches 120,000, then things will be much easier." ”

"Yes." Liu Ruyi responded, and then asked: "Zhou Jun has always told me to buy more silk and satin, banners and flags, and lay them densely around this high platform and around the wooden chairs as decorations, but I think what Gongzi preached is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, Confucius and Mencius's mantra, and this scholarship is enough to move people's hearts and transform the people, so why bother to buy it?" ”

Liu Xu laughed and said: "Ruyi, I only ask you, if you go to the market to buy apples, one apple is in poor quality, insect and rat bites, but the stall owner swears to tell you that this apple is juicy, sweet and delicious, and the other is in good condition, white and red, and it makes people feel new love at a glance, how should you choose?" ”

"I naturally choose the one that is delicious, if it is not delicious, it is just gold and jade, and it is just ruined, how can I help it?" Liu Ruyi still disagreed: "This way of the sage is like this first apple, although 'I want to be benevolent and benevolent' seems difficult to implement, but after all, it can help the world and open peace, and the fallacy is the second apple, although it can be demagogic for a while, but it cannot run rampant for a lifetime after all." ”

"It's a pity that this doctrine is not an apple, you only have to support and not support, and practice in actual actions to know his right and wrong, how can you taste the truth that you can know in one bite? You see that Tibetan Buddhism is not also splendid, the Sutra Sanskrit singing, the Pure Land Buddhist Temple is also the golden body of the Buddha, the treasure is solemn, and the acquisition is a moving image! After a pause, Liu Xu concluded: "This academic battle is often a propaganda battle, if you don't have a good image, it will be difficult to get the most supporters!" Now that I am dealing with internal affairs with you, I feel that I am like an arm commanding and getting along, but I still lack a pen to wave the flag and shout for me, and it is a pity to charge into battle. ”

As he was talking, he heard Liu An come over and say: "Son, Mr. Zhang Pu from Taicang is visiting, and there are also the sons of Yingshe who are here, saying that they are grateful for the high righteousness of the prince and are willing to participate in the grand event!" ”

This is really a pillow to sleep, Liu Xu laughed: "Jiangnan talents are all in my place!" Ask them to wait a moment, and I'll be over!" ”
